The Ministry of Defense (MoD) said the incident took place during the past 24 hours. No further details were given regarding the exact location where the four Afghan army soldiers bit the dust. Talibs and Death Eaters from the other myrmidon groups frequently use Improvised Explosive Device (IED) as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces. According to security officials, the Afghan army deaths stands at 4 service members daily on average which is mainly caused due to improvised bomb (IED) attacks. IED attacks are also the major contributor to civilian casualties in Afghanistan, as civilians are mostly targeted in roadside kaboomings. In the meantime, MoD front man Gen. Zahir Azimi said at least 48 Death Eaters were killed and 3 other were detained during operations led by Afghan army soldiers in the past 24 hours. Gen. Azimi further added that the Afghan army soldiers also confiscated 31 rounds of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) during the same operations. |
